About 5 years ago, I veganized my mom’s chili recipe by replacing the ground beef with Yves veggie ground round. I made it like that for years, doubling the recipe, and freezing it so that there was always a warm comforting meal available at the drop of a hat. Then I moved to Sydney, Australia, … Read more
This pistachio-crusted maple dijon tofu looks quite decadent, but it only requires 5 ingredients, is actually very easy to prepare, and is ready in under 30 minutes. Background I saw this recipe for Pistachio-Crusted Salmon a couple years ago in Canadian Living magazine and decided to try it using tofu instead. It works really well, … Read more
I found this recipe for General Tao’s Tofu on VegWeb.com a couple years ago and have made it many times since with great success. It’s a great version of the General Tao’s chicken dish that is offered at many Chinese restaurants. The tofu has a nice crispy yet chewy texture. It’s a dish that you … Read more
My mom used to make this recipe and it’s one of my all-time favorites. If you manage to find yourself in that perfect space-time-continuum where you have access to ripe mangoes and avocados at the same time, then this is the perfect recipe. I can’t tell you how great this is – you just have … Read more
I’ve been making this recipe for years because it’s so delicious – and by keeping frozen corn tortillas and store-bought enchilada sauce on hand, I can whip-up homemade vegan enchiladas in no time. Updates October 22, 2016 – I made these again tonight and skipped frying the tortillas before dipping them in the enchilada sauce … Read more

Vegan MoFo #27 – There are only a few days left in November, and 2010 for that matter – can you believe it?! Here is my contribution for the last Saturday of the Vegan Month of Food. I veganized and added a few ingredients to this recipe from a 1995 issue of Vegetarian Times magazine. … Read more
I spent the day on the beach so I don’t have an elaborate recipe today. However, this Broccoli, Red Bell Pepper & Chickpea Salad is one of my favorite go-to recipes, and it wouldn’t be right not to include it in the Vegan Month of Food initiative. My mom made this salad often when I … Read more
This is an old recipe from Nasoya tofu that I’ve been making for years. It’s great comfort food for me, and because the tofu-to-pasta ratio is so good, I don’t feel so guilty eating the white-flour shells. I’ve also added a little bit of shredded carrot and nutritional yeast to the mix with great success, … Read more
I love making tofu scramble on the weekends. The ingredients are always a bit of a surprise, as I’ll just use whatever veggies are left-over from the week. Red pepper (capsicum), mushrooms, spinach, rocket… all have been in there at some point. Today, I made a Southwest tofu scramble by topping it with some avocado … Read more

The tofu has a crispy exterior and soft middle – and the lemon and salt pair so well with the fresh coriander (cilantro) and red bell peppers (capsicum). I submitted this salt & pepper tofu … Read more

I love this vegan Chana Masala recipe because it satisfies my 3 basic requirements for weekday meals: It’s quick to prepare … Read more
